Mythical Three Kingdoms

”Gan Xingba, if you don’t dare, just say so, nobody will laugh at you.” Zhou Tai’s boisterous laughter grandly traversed from the other side of the river.

”Xingba, let me kill my way over, you command from here, after all, you are the Naval Commander.” Taishi Ci shook his head and said, not wanting Gan Ning to directly hand him the command talisman, then leaped toward the left side ships.

”Ziyi, you take command. There are some things you can’t do, but Xingba dares to do them.” Chen Xi drew away the fog while starting to mobilize his spiritual power to adjust the Cloud Qi, and soon the Yangtze River, previously shrouded by fog, became bright and clear.

”Alright, then I’ll take command!” Taishi Ci was also a decisive person, knowing that now was not the time for chaos.

”Whatever you want to do, I definitely won’t let you do it, there’s a lot of vapor above the river, I really want to see how you’re going to disperse it!” Pang Tong chuckled coldly, without competing with Chen Xi for spiritual power, he directly drew the water vapor from the Yangtze River to condense fog, stubbornly re-shrouding all of their ships with thick fog the moment Chen Xi dispersed it.

”Shiyuan, you go deal with the other one, I’ll handle Chen Zichuan.” Zhou Yu casually took over Pang Tong’s actions and started to cover their troops with water vapor, ”But where’s Bofu?”

”Rushing over in a fast boat.” Pang Tong said carelessly, ”General Huang, General Hann, General Cheng have all crossed over as well, there aren’t many ships, just a dozen or so fast boats and yachts, with only one battle ship as cover.”

”That’s at least acceptable, at least they know to provide cover, transmit the order for Ling Cao to lead the forefront to the rescue.” Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, ”You’ve already got a good grasp on the river currents, right? Don’t mobilize at the start, wait until the situation starts to tilt in our favor before taking action.”

”You don’t need to remind me of these, I know, I’ll first put up a defense for us.” Pang Tong quickly suppressed their Cloud Qi into the ships they were on and then used the Cloud Qi to strengthen the integrity of each ship.

Chen Xi saw the fog disperse for a moment before closing back up and couldn’t help but reveal a mocking smile, then, without any further hesitation, began arranging his ships’ defense. Gan Xingba, with this dense fog, would be able to launch a surprise attack on the enemy’s Central Army undetected, and that would be enough.

”We can’t see anything at all!” Taishi Ci commanded the fleet to gather around the flagship while ordering the bed crossbows to be drawn, ready to attack, but after doing so realized there was absolutely no way to shoot.

”Carry out probing attacks in that direction!” Chen Xi frowned as he spoke, after dispersing a large amount of spiritual capacity, he felt something different on his right side.

”Crossbowmen, get ready!” The fog was too thick, Taishi Ci couldn’t see anything there either, but still commanded based on instinct, launching a light blade with his Sky Piercer only to hear a muffled explosion of river water and the clamor of voices.

”All units fire to the right side!” At this point, Taishi Ci couldn’t care less about visibility, ready to devour the bait of even a probing attack, ”Fast boats, yachts, prepare, charge and board for the attack!”

In the midst of his words, a barrage of arrows rained down. Sunx Ce and his followers hadn’t grasped what was happening when they saw the sky filled with incoming arrows and could no longer maintain any semblance of disguise, ”Generals, follow me to slay the enemy!”

With a mighty shout, Sunx Ce leapt off the boat’s edge, taking a few bounds intending to jump aboard, not expecting Taishi Ci to be ready for an attack the moment he appeared. The instant Sunx Ce surfaced, Taishi Ci directly drew his bow, aimed an arrow at Sunx Ce’s chest, and let loose a light arrow that instantly shot towards Sunx Bofu.

Sunx Ce, who was already in the midst of stepping void, barely managed to twist his body and used his Long Spear to deflect Taishi Ci’s arrow. However, the immense force also carried Sunx Ce, who had no time to leverage stepping void, and sent him flying out, nailing him directly into the Yangtze River with a single arrow.

”Sunx Bofu actually appears here.” Taishi Ci frowned, his own Fast Boats and yachts had already charged over through the blur, surrounding dozens of small and large boats of Sunx Ce’s side.

”Boom!” Sunx Ce leaped out of the water, swinging his spear to create a massive Light Blade that blasted a huge wave through the river, toppling two nearby unalert Fast Boats instantly.

”This is really troublesome. In naval warfare compared to ground battles, if there are too few ships, the impact of top generals is indeed too significant.” Chen Xi waved his hand, trying to smooth out the gigantic wave caused by Sunx Ce.

”No helping it. Ground battles can be regarded as a whole, while in naval warfare, each ship is part of the whole; there are always differences. Hence, in naval battles, what is enhanced is not the individual combat power, but the ships. After all, on the river, with Cloud Qi, the ships can transfer the received attacks to the river water and even use it as a means of attack!” Taishi Ci completely ignored Sunx Ce’s actions and calmly stared in Sunx Ce’s direction, saying, ”Even if their vision is obscured by the dense fog, I can still sense Sunx Ce’s presence.”

”So top generals might be within the weakening range, even using the weakening effect of Cloud Qi to overturn the ships with river water!” Chen Xi asked with a wry smile, admitting his lack of understanding in naval warfare.

”Indeed they can, but that would only be possible with Fast Boats, and those without the slightest preparation. Otherwise, when a large number of ships are connected with Cloud Qi to form a single entity, it’s impossible to capsize them without breaking the Cloud Qi. It’s like on land where I can kill thousands by surprise, but once they form a military formation, Henghengheng.”

”Can the Cloud Qi be broken under such circumstances?” Zhuge Liang asked in confusion.

”Didn’t you see I’m dismantling their Cloud Qi? Kongming, clear some of the fog in front for me, I need to dismantle the enemy quickly. Capturing Sunx Bofu alive would be valuable!” By following the direction of the drum sounds, Taishi Ci had already eliminated all the drummers on Sunx Bofu’s side, causing the few boats that Sunx Ce brought to have problems with their movements.

After killing a crossbowman from Gan Ning’s Navy with a single cut, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai stood together. As the fog lifted, Taishi Ci’s commands to the navy became increasingly accurate, quickly scattering Sunx Ce’s fleet into fragments and their Cloud Qi began to crumble.

”Bofu, retreat quickly!” Hann Dang yelled. Originally, they intended to take advantage of the fog to launch a surprise attack on Gan Ning’s Army, only to be counter-attacked before they could even get close and now they were trapped.

”No need, Gongjin must have a plan!” Sunx Ce kicked Gan Bao off into the Yangtze River. If it weren’t for Sunx Ce being within the Cloud Qi, that kick would have been enough to burst a man who had only barely touched Qi Refining to Gang.

Huang Gai and Cheng Pu exchanged glances, Cheng Pu charged forward while Huang Gai took the opportunity to use his roar to adjust Sunx Ce’s Army’s boats to converge towards Sunx Ce.

”Thud!” Huang Gai leaped backward several feet, and when he looked down again, a large hole had appeared where he previously stood. Then, without waiting for Huang Gai to stabilize, five arrows covered the area near the hole where one could stand, even with his vision obscured by the fog, Taishi Ci, relying on sound to locate his target, still locked on to Huang Gai.

”Ting!” Sunx Ce deflected the arrows aimed at Huang Gai with his spear and then, pulling Huang Gai, flashed backward. As expected, several more arrows consecutively pierced through the deck.
